And when Li Yan quietly descended and reached the place where his spiritual consciousness had just sensed, he couldn't help but be a little stunned.
Because if you go further down from this position, even if your spiritual consciousness continues to extend for a hundred miles, there will still be a void and an endless abyss.
"They didn't reach the bottom of the abyss. They suddenly changed direction. Did they find me?"
Li Yan was suspended in the darkness, his expression became a little frightened and uncertain. Yan Qingchen's concealment skills alone made Li Yan a little frightened.
Nowadays, everything around here is almost the same scene. Even if Li Yan looks carefully, he can't find anything special.
If it were you, if you didn't find anyone following you above, what judgment would you use to make a new direction here?
The opponent was suddenly in the abyss, and before he reached the bottom, he turned straight in a direction and flew sideways to a certain place.
For a moment, Li Yan stopped following him. Instead, he hovered on the spot and began to carefully examine the surrounding environment...
Yan Qingchen was flying side by side with Liu Siyu at this time. After he slowed down slightly, several people behind him had already caught up with him.
"Brother, are we almost there?"
Liu Siyu asked softly.
In fact, she was also surprised that the surroundings were pitch black, except for the nearby cliff and the cold air coming out from below.
During their fall, everyone was exploring the surroundings, even for their own safety, but no obvious signs were found.
Why did Senior Brother Yan suddenly turn in a different direction when he was falling?
"Well, it shouldn't be far!"
Yan Qingchen's speed had slowed down at this time, as if he was constantly checking his position, and in one of his palms folded inside his big sleeve, he was holding something the size of a copper coin.
In the square hole in the middle of the object, there were black and red airflows, rotating silently and continuously. As he continued to move forward, the black airflow inside became darker and darker...
After the three people behind caught up, they sensed Yan Qingchen's spiritual glance and did not make any noise to disturb them. They were also alert to the surrounding situation.
Although there was no news of new dangerous places being discovered outside the ancient palace, they had never been to this place.
Of course, all of them who have survived to this day are all cunning and cunning people. When in any strange place, they will definitely be very alert and will not listen to the rumors outside.
Similarly, they did not completely believe Yan Qingchen. At most, they only believed 30% to 40% of the reasons given by him.
The reason why they can still come over is that the conditions they negotiated with the other party are indeed satisfactory to everyone. The second reason is of course that wealth and honor are obtained through danger, and what monks want is opportunity.
With Yan Qingchen's behavior, several people speculated that he could not handle this matter alone, but there must be something here, some treasure that Yan Qingchen coveted?
After they had their guesses, of course they wanted to get a share of the pie.
Especially letting them enter the ancient inheritance palace was not a place designated by Yan Qingchen and they were completely unaware of it.
The Ancient Palace of Inheritance is a place in Huangqi Valley, and Yan Qingchen doesn't have much ability to do anything in it.
Moreover, when they come to inherit the ancient palace, no one brings all their wealth with them. They may not be able to gain much from killing people and stealing goods here.
More importantly, judging from Yan Qingchen's actions, these three people found that the other party's net worth was much richer than his own. What did he have in his body that the other party could covet?
To say that in Huangqi Valley, the most coveted thing is the possession of the strange fire from heaven and earth, or some ancient elixir, but they don't have any of these.
The five people moved forward quickly in the darkness. During this period, Yan Qingchen turned in several directions, but all without warning, leaving the four people confused.
After about half a cup of tea, the five of them finally stopped in front of a steep cliff.
It's still pitch black here. If a mortal were here, he could only open his eyes and be blind. He would not be able to do anything other than being filled with fear.
The three people behind were also suspended in mid-air. When they got here, they could already feel that the bottom of the abyss below was about four hundred miles away from their current height.
At this time, where they were, there was an empty, boundless darkness on three sides, with only the cliff in front of them just a few feet away.
Most of the cliffs here are exposed black rocks, and occasionally some low vegetation appears on them, which looks very sparse.
And all the vegetation that appears here is also very small in size. Just in front of a few people, there is a small tree leaning diagonally out of the cliff.
In fact, it is not accurate to call it a small tree. It is more like a thin branch, but there are three or four branches branched from it, and there are also a few pointed leaves hanging on it.
A lot of the roots of the entire small tree are exposed outside the rock. Those roots are hanging listlessly on the stone wall, as if a strong wind can take it away.
Yan Qingchen was staring at this small tree, and his expression also caused several others to involuntarily focus their consciousness on this small tree.
…………
This is a long river only a mile wide, meandering from the top, then slowly twisting and turning towards the lower reaches.
The sky here is dark yellow, which makes the river below take on a dim yellow color.
On the rock edges on both sides of the river are pebbles of various sizes, but the colors of these stones shine with colorful light amid the crystal.
Suddenly, two bright embankments seemed to be formed on both sides of the river, reflecting the long river that was originally like a yellow spring into a strange and magnificent color, even a little dreamlike.
The river water is flowing downwards with a gentle gurgling sound...
In addition to the long river and the pebbles with different lights on the shore, looking further to both sides of the river, there is another endless darkness.
It is as if there is a bright star hanging here in the dark night, showing the only crystal color.
"Sister, we have been walking from the source for six days, and it has always been the same as before. It has not changed at all.
Although this strange long river alone seems extraordinary, we have not found any more clues.
I don’t know how far it is from the end of the downstream, these lights suppress the consciousness to within ten thousand miles, but I can’t see further!”
Amidst the sound of the river water, from the upstream direction, two figures were walking along the river bank at a speed that was not slow, but not too fast either.
A very clear sound, accompanied by the sound of rushing water, rang out in this space, breaking the constant sound of water flowing here all year round.
They were two graceful figures. The reflection of the colorful pebbles under their feet made them even more graceful and graceful, and they also had a strange brilliance.
They were two women wearing the same yellow dress. Judging from their faces, the two women were exactly the same in appearance, hairstyle, and clothing. They even had the same height.
The two of them were clearly the pair of Ming sisters that Li Yan knew. They were crossing the sky at this time, coming slowly from upstream. Their feet were hanging in the air for a few feet without stepping on the ground.
The two of them kept moving forward on one side of the bank, and their consciousness was scanning the surroundings carefully, which made their flight speed not very fast.
"According to the words given to us, so far, there should be nothing wrong with the place we are looking for.
It's just that they don't fully understand the situation in the space, and they only speculate based on the information that there should be a long river of brilliance.
In addition, other things that have been speculated from the known information are a bit too trivial, and cannot be confirmed with what is seen here so far.
We still have a little more than two months, sister, don’t worry too much, at our speed, we should be able to explore this long river!"
Ming Qi said calmly. In fact, she was constantly reviewing and confirming in her mind, hoping to get more accurate guesses.
It's just that her character is more calm, and she doesn't become a little anxious like Mingyu.
"Sister, too much time has passed. What else is left here?"
"It's because we don't know what will be left behind that we try our best to come and take a look. If we can get the things here and take them back, maybe we can change the situation.
In order to explore this place, we analyzed too much information and finally got this clear clue. This time we must do our best to investigate!"
Ming Qi also said lightly, but she was already thinking in her heart, if the remaining two months are not enough, should they risk staying here?
However, it is said that once the ancient inheritance palace is closed, the danger level inside will increase several times, and many inexplicable ghosts will appear in the areas outside the ancient inheritance palace.
It seemed that the souls of the monks from the original sect of this ancient palace could only inherit the ancient palace for a specific period of time, when they were connected to the outside world.
Only those ghosts will be suppressed and returned to the underground by the laws of heaven and earth that have penetrated from the outside world. Once the passage to the outside world is closed, even the ancient inheritance palace is no longer a safe place.
Those yellow rays of light will become extremely violent, and even monks in the Fusion Realm may not be able to withstand it. This is exactly what the woman in white said.
But the place the two of them found was a secret message that was finally deciphered from a broken jade slip.
And relying on the information they analyzed, they actually found this somewhat strange river and successfully entered it.
The two of them have been here for several days and have not encountered any danger. They can also confirm that this is a secret realm within a secret realm.
Does that explain a situation? Even after the ancient inheritance palace is closed, it may still be a place to avoid danger.
Therefore, Ming Qi kept thinking about whether he should stay here and continue to explore despite the danger of falling if he didn't finish the exploration.
Otherwise, do we have to wait until the next time the ancient inheritance palace is opened? Hundreds of years are still too long. Ming Qi did not consider his sister leaving because the other party would never agree.
As for the two of them, if they stay and wait until the next time it is opened, if they are still alive, it will be very simple to go out and find an explanation.
It was said that he was trapped in a place that no one had discovered before. Later, after the ancient inheritance palace was reopened, it was inexplicably transported out.
The various explanations are not up to him. Anyway, Huang Qigu can also guess that there should be some secret places in the ancient inheritance palace.
But by then, they are not worried that this place will be exposed. If they are still alive in a few hundred years, they will get what they should get here.
On the contrary, what they need to worry about most is how they will take the things away. Anyone will know what treasures they may have obtained.
"Thinking about these things at this time is already too much, so let's do the things in front of us first!"
Ming Qi regained her thoughts. She had already thought too much. Maybe the two of them would perish here. There was no point in thinking about the following things.
Although the place they entered was not in danger for the time being, it was always weird, and there was like endless darkness on both sides of the river.
But in fact, apart from this glorious and magnificent river, if you walk towards the darkness on both sides, you can only go one mile at most.
When the edge of these bright lights is about to touch the completely submerged darkness, it is like being blocked by an invisible barrier, and it is impossible to move forward at all.
They did not try to break through forcefully, but decided to explore this place first, so as not to cause unpredictable dangers if they forced their way in.
In the whispers, the two women slowly walked downstream along the glorious river bank, once again exploring the surroundings and the river to see if there were any new discoveries. The sound also gradually faded away...
Before the dark cliff, Yan Qingchen had already created nearly a hundred magic formulas. These magic formulas were very complicated, and each magic seal took at least five breaths to condense.
After those dharma seals appeared, they landed on the small tree that stretched out diagonally, but from the beginning to the end, there was no abnormality in the small tree.
This made several people behind him, although they did not ask questions, gradually felt that Yan Qingchen was looking in the wrong place.
"This small tree has always had no spiritual energy fluctuations. There are still many small trees like this during our descent..."
A middle-aged monk secretly transmitted the message to the other three people. They walked along the abyss and saw many such thin trees.
So he was already wondering whether Yan Qingchen was looking in the wrong place.
"What Senior Brother Qian said does make some sense, but Junior Brother Yan was leading the way, although there were some pauses in exploration.
But the last part of the journey is almost straight to here. I think he must have some means to sense it, so we might as well wait and see!"
This is the late-stage god-transformation monk who entered the internal selection together with Yan Qingchen. Compared with the other two, he and Liu Siyu also spent more time with Yan Qingchen.
He also became more aware of Yan Qingchen's methods, especially the other party's quick mind and a strict plan for everything he did.
Yan Qingchen would not have used so many magic tricks and continued to use the magic tricks with a calm face when there was no response from the front.
Yan Qingchen was not blind, so how could he not react to this? It only meant that the other party knew what he was doing, either because the time had not come yet, or because his method needed to be activated in the end to be effective.
But Yan Qingchen's behavior, to the other two late-stage god-transformation monks, seemed like the other party was trying again and again when they were unwilling to give up or were unsure.
Since arriving here, Liu Siyu has not made a sound. She just floated quietly aside, although she listened to the other three people's transmissions.
But her pair of infatuated eyes never left the figure that fascinated her heart.
On Yan Qingchen's handsome face, his lips were tightly closed at the moment, and his eyes were fixed on the small tree in front of him.
If someone keeps paying attention to his memory, he will find that every time he pinches the magic seal, he will control each seal to fall on the small tree or different locations around it.
However, none of these positions overlap. If these seals are connected with spiritual consciousness, they will form a larger seal.
At this moment, there are still thirteen blank places in this seal. Liu Siyu noticed these, so her beautiful eyes flickered slightly.
The other three people focused on the small tree, waiting for Yan Qingchen to ask them to take action, and watching others use the magic formula. It would be useless even if you write it down.
Because you don't know the mantras, you are just wasting your efforts in vain.
Yan Qingchen didn't care what the other four people were thinking. His hands danced like the wind, and the slender fingertips were constantly flashing with light, like distant stars in the dark night, constantly filling in the blank spaces one by one...
